Standard double glazing provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation with low-E coatings and argon gas filling achieving impressive U-values while reducing energy costs.
Triple glazed reversible windows deliver maximum thermal efficiency, ideal for Passivhaus specifications and properties requiring superior insulation performance in exposed Scottish locations.
Standard (Annealed Glass): Clear float glass suitable for most applications where safety glazing is not required.
- Safety – Toughened: Heat-treated glass shattering into small granular pieces if broken, required in certain locations for impact safety compliance.
- Safety – Laminated: Glass bonded with interlayer holding fragments together if broken, providing enhanced security, UV protection, and acoustic performance benefits.
- Acoustic Glass: Specialist laminated glass reducing noise transmission, ideal for properties near traffic, railways, or other noise sources requiring sound insulation.
- Solar Control: Coated glass reducing solar heat gain while maintaining natural light, helping prevent overheating in south and west-facing elevations.
- Fire Rated: Specialist glazing providing fire resistance for applications requiring compartmentation or means of escape compliance under building regulations.
